Tyre advice

[Funkyboy]

I've currently got 275/30/19 on rear of E250 AMG. I'm thinking of going to 275/35/19 for bit more on Sidewall. Anyone done this or envisage any Issues?
Thanks

If you change the rears you also need to change the fronts to avoid issues with ABS, ESP and Cruise.

I think you'd need to go down to 18" rims to keep your speedo accurate - your rolling radius will have changed.

Holy mother , I was impressed when my C250 CDI had 255 width 18" on the back as a C63 with 18's also does .

275 it's not a garden roller .


As above 18's .

Our SL has 275/35 19s on the rear...

What horses and torques ?

302 bhp (306 PS; 225 kW) at 5,600 rpm with 460 N⋅m (339 lb⋅ft) of torque at 2,700 to 4,250 rpm

Yeah that's wide , similar numbers on the S14 on R34 Skyline alloys with 225 .

Keep the same size tyre and drop the pressure by 2psi

Worrying about a bit sidewall.

To answer the original question more fully.
Providing you have space for the extra diameter you can go 225/40/19 front (original I'm guessing is 225/35/19) and 275/35/19 rear (original 275/30/19) without any ESP/ABS issues.
This is what the previous owner of our SL did and it works without issues.
You cannot do rears without doing fronts.

You do need to check there 8s enough room not just on the straight ahead position but also the full lock position on the fronts.
